<p>Next year I'm considering enrolling in a CC then transferring to UCSD for junior year as a Physiology & Neuroscience major (I also intend to pursue my pre medical education). </p>

<p>I have a few questions regrading the major and UCSD.</p>

<p>Is the physiology & Neuroscience major impacted? competitive?</p>

<p>What is the average class size for upper level science courses? </p>

<p>How competitive and/or impacted are these classes (if not physio courses then classes generally taken by pre med students like, biochem or genetics)? </p>

<p>How are the pre meds "behavior" at UCSD? (I know UCLA and berkeley students are notorious for sabotage) </p>

<p>What kinds of opportunities (research, volunteering and shadowing etc.) are open for pre med students? Are these positions competitive?</p>

<p>Do you have any tips on how to study and achieve good grades? Are all classes graded on a curve?</p>

<p>Does UCSD have a on campus fitness center or gym? Is it often cowered? Is there a annually or monthly fee?</p>

<p>How was your overall experience (dorms, social life and sports etc.) at UCSD? </p>

<p>How are the frats at UCSD?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>looks like you’re new, so i’ll let you in on a secret: googling will answer the objective questions (ie, is that major impacted? <– yes it is) and a search of the archives will yield the solutions to the subjective ones.</p>

<p>(we tend to get asked the same questions over and over, so with each iteration, our responses tend to get shorter and more blunt.)</p>

<p>I have searched through this forum and from what I noticed most students post questions regarding the “bioengineering pre med major”, general biology or microbiology major. I would like to know information about the physio & neuro major offered at UCSD.</p>

<p>there have also been multiple mentions that all the biology majors are more or less the same (with the exception of bioinformatics and EBE), since they have identical requirements save for a handful of upper-division classes. and those aren’t particularly major-specific either, since essentially any biology student can take them.</p>
